in favor of trying to rectify any mistake if

to draw up resolutions thanking the old
board for what it has done in building up
Wichita

The committee of ten will hold meeting

THE BRASS OF THE CLASSICAL ASS.
The Ottawa papers are still unreconciled
cluded to include a Baptist university
among her many other great Institutions Of
learning. The Republic IN of that city says
that Professor W. r. Harper, Phi. D., of
Yale, writes that he never heard Of Wichita,
AMI that Rev w. f. Harper, of this city
chad better be more careful or he viii get
himself into trouble" he further writes
asking that his statements be published in
Kansas papers. The EAGLE for one papar
not only complies with his request bat takes
great pleasure in saying that ii prof. W
r. Harper, Phi. d., Of ale" ever wrote any
such trash to anybody that he, prof. W. r
Harper, OF YALE is Il chuup Of
undimiuished gall and towering cheek
whose half pendant ears exceed in dropping
qualities those of the average scholastic ass.
Rev. Harper, of this city, did not in the first
place in his address mention any mans name
n connection with the presidency of the
Judson, and in the next place the last man in
the world he would have named for such
position would have been the sciolistic lub-
Der who, over his own signature, acknowl-
edges his ignorance of the existence OF one
Of tho most famed cities of the Occidental
city which, as the seat Of the greatest num-
Der of educational institutions of high rank,
leads all Others on the continent. Sach an
anterior ignoratio eienchi as he who writes
to the Ottawa grunter5 would cut a pro-
ligious figure meath tia classical shades Of
Mentor avenue or about the borders Of the
JuIsol Campus now wouldn't he!
